Fu Shinan sat on the bed lost in thought, half asleep, until it was dimly light outside, and she heard the sound of Ji Zan and the others returning. It seemed they had successfully defended the place. When she opened the door to go out, she noticed that Bai Lianhua and Shi Chan’er were nowhere to be found.
In the courtyard, MO Cheng was washing his face and greeted Fu Shinan with a smile. “Sister Fu, did you sleep well?”
Fu Shinan nodded. “It was alright. Where are they?”
MO Cheng wiped his face and replied, “Da Fei and a few others went with Wu Bai to scavenge for supplies. Bai Lianhua and Shi Chan’er found it boring and followed Wu Liang, Wu Bails brother, to the farm for a walk.”
Fu Shinan’s heart skipped a beat, and she had an inexplicable sense of foreboding. “And what about Ji Zan?”
“Ji Zan didn’t go. He’s resting in the room. Seems like he caught a cold.”
“Oh.” Fu Shinan breathed a sigh of relief. As she turned around, she happened to see Cao Yong standing at the door, smiling at her.
“Miss Fu, in broad daylight, you seem quite nervous,” Cao Yong remarked.
Fu Shinan shrugged. “Since the apocalypse started, I’ve been like this, always on edge. Always worried that the zombies might attack at any moment.”
Cao Yong chuckled. “During the day, the zombies won’t pose a threat. You can rest assured.”
“Thanks for the advice. I’ll go check on Ji Zan.” Fu Shinan didn’t say much more and walked away. She felt that whenever she talked to Cao Yong, there was a sense of being scrutinized as if he could see through her thoughts. It was an uncomfortable feeling.
Pushing open the door, she saw Ji Zan lying on the sofa, his eyes closed, and his complexion indeed looking a bit off. However, the idea of him catching a cold at a time like this felt surreal to Fu Shinan. Maybe it was because Ji Zan had left a strong impression on her.
Xiao Chang’an was playing with his phone obediently on the side, and when he saw Fu Shinan, he happily called out, “Auntie!”
“Hush!” Fu Shinan gestured for him to be quiet, then walked to the front of the sofa and gently touched Ji Zan’s forehead. He didn’t have a fever, which was good news.
Ji Zan opened his eyes and tried to sit up.
Fu Shinan quickly held him down. “Cao Yong said there’s nothing to worry about during the day. Rest more, I’ll go find some medicine for you.” “I’m fine,” Ji Zan reached out and grabbed Fu Shinan’s hand.
Fu Shinan felt his strength and realized that he didn’t seem seriously ill. She discreetly withdrew her hand. “You’ve been working hard these past few days.
As long as you’re okay, I can relax.”
Ji Zan raised an eyebrow, his voice slightly hoarse. “Is this Miss Fu’s way of showing concern for me?”
Upon hearing his words, Fu Shinan inexplicably felt a bit uneasy. “We’re in a cooperative relationship now, and you are the strongest guarantee. Of course, I will care.”
Ji Zan curled his lips, neither confirming nor denying it. Before he could say anything else, they heard a commotion from outside. Wu Bai was shouting,
“We were ambushed! Everyone who went there, except the two of us, is dead.” Ji Zan immediately stood up and rushed outside in a single stride.
Wu Bai supported a comrade covered in blood and anxiously said, “There are zombies in An Town. Your friends were ambushed, and three of our people are dead. Only the two of us made it back…” He quickly had someone take care of Wu Ping, who had lost a lot of blood, fearing the situation was grim.
Ji Zan’s face turned dark. “That’s impossible! What about Da Fei and the others…” Realizing something, he turned to get into the car.
Fu Shinan followed closely behind. “I’m coming too. If they’re just injured, maybe I can still help… Even though that person was also injured earlier, there are so many people here, there must be a way. Da Fei’s situation is more urgent, and I can’t just stand by and do nothing after being protected for so many days.”
MO Cheng also joined them. “I’m coming too. At least there will be someone to support you and lend a hand.”
Seeing the three about to leave, Cao Yong immediately stopped the car and spoke earnestly, “I advise you not to go. Although Anning Town has supplies, the journey is far and there won’t be enough time for you to return. The three of you won’t be able to withstand a large-scale zombie attack.”
Ji Zan said coldly, “I can’t leave my brothers behind.”
Wu Bai wiped his arm and came out of the house, saying, “Even if you go, you won’t find them. They’re already dead! Do you want to bring the zombies back with you?”
Ji Zan’s gaze turned sharp. “You better not be lying!”
Cao Yong shook his head helplessly. “Mr Ji, I understand your feelings, but there’s no need to lie. Wu Bai’s brothers haven’t returned… But since you’re determined, I can’t stop you. However, I hope you won’t take Miss Fu with you on this risky venture. She’s a doctor, not a warrior. Facing zombies, she won’t be able to do much following you..”
